    Don't know about that Valli, I think I have a disorder - bordering on Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder... My house [strike]is[/strike] was a total wreck (it is getting better...) but my mugs have to be just so in the cupboard, as do plates, jumpers, files, etc... I freak out about the weirdest things with the kids when they put stuff away, and if they don't wipe the side down right.... heads roll.... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: (bit like that actually.... didn't realise the heads rolling was them laughing at me... :confused: )
    and you have the temerity to have a go at ME (and Tag) for having matching pegs?:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    s'not our fault they sell 'em in bags of one colour.

    My mugs (gloat) on my 8 mug tree are (ahem) MISMATCHED
    Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY

    Oops forgot to mention our cat is fine today :confused:. She's been bombing about, jumping off window sills, stretching, all normal cat like things so whatever was wrong seems to have gone.:T

    I'll do my friday night fly tomorrow and have a purge.Managed to tidy kitchen and wipe down a bit but was out most of evening.

    Emptied kitchen bin.

    Plus it's OH's birthday friday....well today now.... so want to get organised for him.

    I knew it! DD is an Aquarian and used to 'file' as a tot and she has written her xmas shoppping list and is list mad and she is the one who sets her alarm on my non work days. She is scarily organised...she TOLD ME SHE WAS STOPPING WEARING NAPPIES at night! (at 2 and three quarters...)

    when you posted that I JUST KNEW you had to be a January babe!

    my DD was a little stranger when she arrived - I took ages to 'know' her though I loved her from the minute she was laid on my shoulder (section) unlike DS whom I knew from the outset... although we are all Air signs...2 Librans and an Aquarian...


    (Tom Librans are very loving and beautiful, ace cooks, make gorgeous puddings and beautiful homes.... just so you know;) )

    NOOOOOOOOOO! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Mine are all pretty much missmatched too (well, apart from the best ones for visitors...;) ) but they still have to go away properly so that they get used in the right order... see logic in it (somewhere), same with plates, they just pile them up as they get them out of the washer - I make them put big ones on the bottom and work upwards - again logic... No logic in what colour pegs have to be??? can't see the problem???
